thankfully had all data i need backed so i just gotta reinstall all my games -new install currently in process -should buy a new hdd while I'm at it

Ill give that a shot thanks. I also have a version of windows 7 so I could do a reinstall to a new OS so I guess ill go ahead and do that. Seems to be the best option and should just solve my problems. Just wanted to avoid a new install Thanks for help

Ive tried pressing F8 a few times how it keeps booting to the point where it brings up the options i listed with F8, F9, F1, DEL

Quick rundown of set up: Mobo: BIOSTAR MCP6PBM2+ N68S CPU: AMD Athlon 9100e -have a new AMD II X4 960T i will be trying to install PSU: 650W Thermltake 4GB DDR2 RAM Stock 640GB Harddrive I installed new mobo and get everything to come up. Something that came to my attention says DDR2...

So i just put in old CPU my and 9100e. Got it to boot to a screen where says checksum failed and loaded defaults. Then F8 to continue setup , F9-select boot device and reset after post F1or del to escape out. Maybe my new CPU is bad but this is making some leeway. However i can't get either...

In an earlier thread I had some issues with the new CPU i bought and figured out it wasn't compatible with my mobo. So i've order a new mobo. BIOSTAR N68S. Mt CPU is an AMD II Phenom X4 960t. I have a 650W PSU. And use x2 2GB sticks of ddr2 ram. Ive got everything installed and plugged in...

awesome! thanks for your help @Chainzsaw @rds1220 -pro ninjas!

Got ya. So in theory: The mobo i listed will work with everything i currently have including the new CPU i bought the AMD II X4 960T?

Well if I just got a new mobo that supports my current RAM i would be fine correct? And yes the only thing in my PC that is stock the mobo and the CPU cooling fan everything else has been upgraded. -excuse my ignorance but PSU? -also found this could be a cheap quick solution to what i want...

yeah there tech website is %100 worthless. I think what ill do is just buy a new mobo rather than get a worse CPU. APPRECIATE the responses best help ive got during this process. Im fairly tech savy but gotta reach out to the more tech savy sometimes. Multiple heads better than one :) Thanks...

Thats kind of what I was figuring. Anyone got an idea where to find a current BIOS update for my system. So far I've been unsucessful. Gateways support website is crap and the one I linked is only one I've been able to find.

So I purchased a new cpu for my gateway tower. Simple process to plug in and go. However once I put the new CPU *AMD II X4 960T and go to boot up. Computer makes a beep or two, fans start powering up and I get no signal. Wait for about 15min and the PC just shuts down. I put old CPU back in and...
